Having a giant comparison table for this might be nice

I migrated all my Firefox bookmarks to a self-hosted Linkding instance. https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/ Lightweight and once you get a tagging methodology in place its super useful.

I've been using Raindrop for about five years. The solo dev really impressed me with his responsiveness to user feedback, so I started paying for premium ($30/yr) even though I don't really need the extra features.

I've used the mobile app, Firefox extension, desktop app (Linux and Windows), and the web app. All have worked flawlessly and have grown more feature rich without ruining the user experience.

The features I use the most are:

  • Endlessly nestable folders that I can give my own icons to make them significantly easier to navigate around
  • Public collections so I can save my favorite GIFs and memes on a public page I can refer back to and share
  • Tagging, descriptions, and notes so I can save a lot of context for each bookmark and why I saved it
  • The built in preview for the mobile app feels buttery smooth, so I seldom open tabs in my mobile browser when I'm visiting my bookmarks
  • The main premium features I actually use are the broken link detector to find links that no longer exist and the permanent copies of those pages

I haven't had a chance to use the REST API, but it appears to be documented quite well.

Overall I've had such a pleasant experience that I've never looked at any other option.

Selfhosted RSS reader Miniflux + Wallabag + KOReader client in KPW4 = 👍

Miniflux to get all my feeds which I can analyze manually throughout the day and send selected snippets to Wallabag for later reading either during lunch or at night using KOReader client in KPW4.

That's a nice workflow :) except for KOReader, I do the same combo Miniflux + wallabage + linkding.

Wallabag + miniflux for articles to read and Linkding for important stuff (mostly github stuff).

What's cool about that workflow it can be automatically send through each other with their API.

I also installed Newsboat as an alternative to the web interface https://newsboat.org/releases/2.35/docs/newsboat.html#_miniflux
